Probably a tad too cryptic... What I was trying to get across, quite ineffectively, was that anyone using (or trying) Debian is administering it practically by definition, installing any opsys on a PC counts as administering that hardware, and so it is reasonable to conclude Nikki probably has picked up admin experience in his travels if he's willing to tackle Debian. Thus, to me anyway, it is reasonable to conclude anybody reading this list is, to some level, a UNIX admin, and asking someone if they've used a platform is the same as asking them if they've had an admin's perspective. But after trying to make this clear, I concede it is horribly convoluted, and I plead guilty of taking an indefensible position. Now where's my ceremonial sword?...
